1942réf. 86449Aberdeen Proving Ground MD: Reproduction Plant The Ordnance School 1942. PRE-FIRST EDITION!!! Temporary Expedient Publication. Wraps. Good. 6 83-160 plus covers. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. RARE Surviving Copy. The NOTE on the first page unpaginated states: This publication is a temporary expedient pending the incorporation of the information contained herein in an approved War Department Manual. Front cover erroneously is for Volume I and there is an ink correction identifying this as Volume II. Cover and some pages are worn and soiled. This was prepared under the direction of the Commandant The Ordnance School. The contents of Chapter 2. Job Analysis and Course Planning includes sections: Introduction; Divisions and Operations of the trade; Equipment materials and mathematics; Job information; Arranging material in an instructional order; The job or project as the vehicle of instruction; and The need for course organization. The Ordnance Specialist School for enlisted personnel was transferred from Raritan Arsenal N.J to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1931. Aberdeen Proving Ground was established in 1917 as an answer to an immediate need for national defense. The United States Army was not fully prepared to meet its new obligations as a consequence of America's declaration of war on the Central Powers in April 1917. One of the urgent issues was to obtain facilities for testing war munitions. Due to its proximity to New York’s populated suburbs and busy harbor the then-Sandy Hook Proving Ground at Fort Hancock N.J. was unable to expand to test all incoming war materiel. As demands for munitions to fight the war in Europe increased the Ordnance Department's need to obtain test facilities for munitions and equipment became urgent. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker commissioned Sandy Hook’s commanding officer Col. Colden L. Ruggles to find a new site for the Army's ordnance testing. The qualifications for the new site were specific. It had to be near the nation's industrial and manufacturing centers yet far enough away from population centers so year-round testing would cause neither community disturbance nor public hazard. Ruggles' search took him to the Chesapeake Bay area. Influenced by Maj. Edward V. Stockham who lived in Perryman Ruggles reviewed an area along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay near the city of Aberdeen. The government took formal possession of the land at Aberdeen on Oct. 20 1917 and immediately began building testing facilities. The new proving ground at Aberdeen would be used for proof-testing field artillery weapons ammunition trench mortars air defense guns and railway artillery. The mission was later expanded to include operation of an Ordnance training school and developmental testing of small arms. On Jan. 2 1918 during a blinding snowstorm Edward V. Stockham fired the first gun at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Despite the snow within two hours the regular work of ammunition acceptance testing was underway.

1932réf. 90559Fort Sill OK: United States Army. Field Artillery School. Department of Tactics & Communication 1932. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Single sheet printed on one side. Fair. The format is approximately 18 inches by 17 inches. RARE SURVIVING COPY. FRAGILE. Flimsy overlay paper. Tear in the lower right panel. Numerous pencil notations adjusting number printed on the overlay sheet. Several perforations noted. Short text notation at lower right corner. The United States Army Field Artillery School USAFAS trains Field Artillery Soldiers and Marines in tactics techniques and procedures for the employment of fire support systems in support of the maneuver commander. The school further develops leaders who are tactically and technically proficient develops and refines warfighting doctrine and designs units capable of winning on future battlefields. The school is currently located at Fort Sill Oklahoma. The mission of the Field Artillery is to destroy neutralize or suppress the enemy by cannon rocket or missile fire and to help integrate all fire support assets into combined arms operations. The U.S. Army Field Artillery School trains educates and develops agile adaptive and decisive Soldiers and leaders; engages collaborates and partners with other branches sister-services and other fires warfighting function proponents; and serves as the lead agent for the development of Field Artillery doctrine concepts and dissemination of that knowledge to the Field Artillery force in support of commanders operating across the full spectrum of conflict and in the joint inter-organizational and multinational JIM environment. The U.S. Army Field Artillery enables maneuver commanders to dominate in Unified Land Operations through effective targeting integration and delivery of fires. The vanguard sometimes abbreviated to van and also called the advance guard is the leading part of an advancing military formation. It has a number of functions including seeking out the enemy and securing ground in advance of the main force. The vanguard derives from the traditional division of a medieval army into three battles or wards; the Van the Main or Middle and the Rear. The term originated from the medieval French avant-garde i.e. "the advance guard". The vanguard would lead the line of march and would deploy first on the field of battle either in front of the other wards or to the right if they deployed in line. The origin of USAFAS can be traced back to the 1907 reorganization of the Artillery Corps and to the character of Fort Sill at that time. The 1907 reorganization created Coast and Field Artillery Branches. In the process of this reorganization the Field Artillery was deprived of its former home at Fort Monroe Virginia. Fort Sill was considered the best location for a Field Artillery school since its 15000-acre reservation allowed ample room for target practice and its great variety of terrain offered an excellent area for different types of tactical training. In addition the post had already assumed the character of the home of artillery with a large number of artillery units assigned. The first artillery school the US Army School of Fire was organized in 1911 by Captain Dan Tyler Moore. With the exception of a brief period in 1916 when school troops were used as frontier security guards during the Mexican Revolution the School has operated and expanded continuously. Hundreds of thousands of artillerymen have been trained at Fort Sill since the inception of the School. After the United States entered World War I the school reopened in 1917 with Col. William J. Snow as commandant. The Field Artillery School as it was now known added more courses. After the war school commandants began a long-range program to improve field artillery mobility gunnery and equipment. Budget cuts during the 1920s hampered their efforts but innovative directors of the Gunnery Department with support from school commandants helped modernize the field artillery in the 1930s. Maj. Carlos Brewer director of the Gunnery Department in the late 1920s and early 1930s introduced new fire direction techniques so fire support would be more responsive. Maj. Orlando Ward the next department director developed the fire direction center to centralize command and control and to facilitate massing fire. Brewer Ward and Lt. Col. H.L.C. Jones encouraged replacing horses with motor vehicles for moving field artillery guns. During World War II to best use new long-range guns and better response times the Field Artillery School championed the use of air observation to control artillery fires. The War Department approved organic field artillery air observation in 1942. The artillery air observers adjusted massed fire and performed liaison reconnaissance and other missions during the war. Following the war the school adapted to the atomic age and the Cold War. The War Department consolidated all artillery training and developments under the U.S. Army Artillery Center at Fort Sill in 1946. At that time the center included the Artillery School the Antiaircraft and Guided Missile School at Fort Bliss Texas and the Coast Artillery School at Fort Scott Calif. United States Army.
